Importance of Guru Tegh Bahadur Martyrdom Day

In 1675, Guru Tegh Bahadur sacrificed his life to protect religion, humanity, and the rights of the people. He sacrificed his life in protest against the forced conversion by Aurangzeb. This day is celebrated in honor of his indomitable courage and human values.
